Redtail Rise standing on the edge, face up

She was intensely quick and he stumbled a bit as she managed to escape him, swiftly returning his feet underneath him and regaining his balance to face her. She shook the mud and snow from her body and he bared his teeth in a grin, excitement flashing in his own red eyes.

She came at him again, nipping viciously at his legs, not quite bringing him injury. He backs up, an instinctual response to her, but quickly stops himself. Dropping his front half in a mock bow, only bending his elbows enough to lower himself but keep him off the ground, he meets her nips with his own teeth and, in his prone position, shoves forward with his hind legs to try and drive her backward and on the defensive.
